CVE-2018-1275: CVE-2018-1275 | Security
Spring Framework, versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3 prior to 4.3.16 and older unsupported versions, allow applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack. This CVE addresses the partial fix for CVE-2018-1270 in the 4.3.x branch of the Spring Framework.

Description
This CVE addresses the partial fix for CVE-2018-1270 in the 4.3.x branch of the Spring Framework.
Spring Framework, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.16, as well as older unsupported versions allow applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack.
Affected VMware Products and Versions
Severity is critical unless otherwise noted.
- Spring Framework 5.0 to 5.0.4
- Spring Framework 4.3 to 4.3.15
- Older unsupported versions are also affected
Mitigation
Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation:
- 5.0.x users should upgrade to 5.0.5
- 4.3.x users should upgrade to 4.3.16
- Older versions should upgrade to a supported branch
There are no other mitigation steps necessary.
Note that the use of authentication and authorization for messages, both of which are provided by Spring Security, limits exposure to this vulnerability to authorized users.
